| Investigations Summary: | The office of defects investigation (odi) has identified 24 unique VIN complaints (voqs) alleging loss of power steering and/or sudden increase in steering effort in model year (my) 2013 Honda accord vehicles. Four complaints allege that the failures resulted in crashes, which all occurred at speeds less than 30 mph. Odi has also identified related information in early warning reporting field report data submitted by Honda.

Some voqs reported that the condition was corrected by turning the vehicle off and restarting. However, several indicate the condition returned again after restart.
